A new braconid wasp from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) amber of the Hukawng Valley in Kachin State, Myanmar is described and figured from a unique female. Engel & Huang, , is placed in a distinct subfamily, Seneciobraconinae Engel & Huang, , owing to the presence of a unique combination of primitive protorhyssaline-like traits, with an otherwise more derived wing venation. The fossil is discussed in the context of other Cretaceous Braconidae.
描述并图示了一种来自缅甸克钦邦胡康河谷上白垩统(森诺曼阶)琥珀中的新茧蜂,该标本为独特的雌性个体。恩格尔和黄将其置于一个独特的亚科——千里光茧蜂亚科(Engel & Huang),因为它具有一系列独特的、类似原喙茧蜂的原始特征组合,同时翅脉具有更多衍征。本文结合其他白垩纪茧蜂科昆虫对该化石进行了讨论。
